I have noticed in Irex v2.31 that when I set up the outbound directory as c:\irex\out\ the other directories appear. For instance, I receive FidoNet
mail from my hub (3634) and setting his outbound directory as c:\irex\out\3634 \ I get another directory pop up c:\irex\out.06f\

Now, I know that 06f is HEX for 3634, but why does it appear? Another hub is 57, and his outbound directory is set for c:\irex\out\57\ and I have another one pop up as c:\irex\out.039\. Again, 039 is HEX for 57. But why are these directories appearing? The ones I have set for them are NEVER used.

Thanks

What format mailer are you using?

I would think that you have choose to use a irex mailer type (Binkley/Portal of
Power). In the case of this type of mailer, in the irex address manger... If you dont want to figure out the right zone for your net, you can also specify the zone as 0 and let Rex figure it out for itself. It will auto create the proper zone \out\ folder for you.

what do you mean "setting his outbound directory"?? that sounds like a filebox... you should not mix fileboxes and the normal BSO outbound if that's what irex is using... put the fileboxes in c:\irex\boxes instead...

eg:
c:\irex\boxes\1\3634\12
c:\irex\boxes\8\0\0
c:\irex\boxes\57\57\0

i do something similar as above with my binkd but i have both inbound and outbound boxes... i use the full address separated by backslashes as shown... that way it is easy for me to see what zone, net and node i'm working with...

Now, I know that 06f is HEX for 3634, but why does it appear? Another
hub is 57, and his outbound directory is set for c:\irex\out\57\ and I have another one pop up as c:\irex\out.039\. Again, 039 is HEX for 57.

i suspect that it is because you are mixing your fileboxes in with your BSO... BSO will create directories like that, though, but they are numbered by zone instead of net... either drop the fileboxes and use the plain BSO or move the fileboxes out of the BSO...
